Just Cream Project / Zamora Rose Project
PHIL ZAMORA - Bass Guitar/Vocals
1968 Phil saw Cream for the first time at Selland Arena in Fresno California and his musical career took a quantum leap. As a music major learning the viola at Fresno City College in California, and later at Washington State University, Phil played viola in the stringed ensemble and played trombone in the full orchestra. Settling in San Francisco and hooking up with the likes of Harvey Mandel, Eddie Money, Charlie Musselwhite, Joseph and Lester Chambers, and then later in Hollywood sharing the stage with Van Halen (before they were signed) Zamora wrote music for the "M. Howard Smith Band" and later co wrote the music for "Blues Landing" of the "Albatross" band, courtesy of Mavwreck Records (www.mavwreckrecords.com ). Music from "Blues Landing" can be heard on episodes of Show Time's hit sitcom "Shameless" starring William H.Macy.
He is the founder and bassist who plays the part of Jack Bruce in the "Just Cream" band as he continues his recording career with several San Francisco Bay Area record companies. With material on MTV's program "Made" and on radio stations around the world, with hits like "Heart In My Hand", "Wharf Blues", and "Embarcadero Blues", Zamora says he's never been happier playing tribute to his favorite all time super trio......."Cream". You may also find the Albatross album "Blues Landing" on Amazon.com and itunes. Phil has just completed a new album / CD with songwriter Ron Rose. The "Zamora Rose Project" is now being distributed via iTunes and CD Baby for your listening pleasure and purchase. Also on YouTube.
